Dear Double Trouble:
I read your column on foot-
ball predictions in Thursday's
paper and thought it showed an
amazing improvement. Really
that's by far the best thing you
have done up until now. Keep it
up, old boy.
Sincerely,
An Admirer

Dear Don:
Why don't you trade positions
with Esther Osser?
Yours truly,
A Sports Fan
We always appreciate hearing
from our friends. All day we have
been thinking of things we could say
in D. W.'s "Cabbages and Kings,"
which will probably appear on page
5 of next year's Daily.
From Chicago yesterday came the
official results of the 40th annual
Western Conference outdoor track
festivities held in Evanston last
weekend. They were released after
the judges gathered around the pho-
to finish pictures that were taken.
And Michigan's great senior sprint
star, Al Smith, will have to be con-
tent with his first and second, the
judges now say. In the century, they
pointed out that the pictures clear-
ly showed Piker cracking the tape
with inches to spare.
But the 220 should have been
a tie, so says the release. The
photos never produced a closer
finish, but with a stroke of gen-
erosity the judges called Smith
the winner. "In light of the two
close races, there will be no
change in the first place deci-
sions," they said.
In fact there was only one change
announced on the whole weekend
program. Hammond of Ohio State
was given the fourth spot in the
100-yard dash instead of Davenport.
This means that the Buckeye sprint-
er will be the fourth man on the
Big Ten dash relay corps replacing
the lad from Chicago. Instead of
fourth, Davenport finished eighth
and last.

Chalk up points for Michigan in
the javelin events a few years hence.
Reporting for summer school this
June will be a lad from Lake Forest
Academy who has been tossing the
spear around 200 feet all year. He'll
be back here come September too as
a freshman . . . Pete Wege, by name
. Joe Batistse, the sensational
Tuscon hurdler, will definitely do
his running in other parts. His grades
were not good enough to warrant
admittance here . . . Roy Schwarz-
kopf, now in training at Seton Hall
in the East, will be at Michigan in
the fall. A consistent 4:25 miler, the
second Schwarzkopf likes cross coun-
try trotting and will probably turn
into a two-miler in college . . . He'll
room with his brother next year ,. .
in all probability.

batting order. His batting record
was somewhat short of the .300 mark,
but Bill still managed to lead the
team in runs batted in, runs scored,
and extra base hits, besides fielding
his position brilliantly.
Steppon, to his own admission,
"would rather play ball than eat" and
should prove a capable and inspiring
leader.
Tobin, too, impressed his coach
from his first workouts as a fresh-
man, and lived up to his promise in
his sophomore year. Starting in the
fifth singles slot, Jim worked his way
up to where he was alternating be-
tween first and second singles posi-

tions in his first year as a Varsity
nember.
In the Conference championship
natches that year, Tobin won the
number-two singles title and played a
big part in Michigan's finishing third.
This spring even bigger things were
expected of Jim as he refrained from
playing hockey, a sport in which he
had already earned a letter, to get
in top shape for tennis.
But fate stepped in and dealt him
a stiff jolt when he incurred a torn'
cartilage in his knee. Despite this1
handicap, Tobin hobbled around all
spring playing when he was able, but
always turning in a capable perform-
ance.
Jim didn't successfully retain his
title last week at Evanston, but it was
only after three long deuce sets that
he went down in the semi-finals to
Gorenstein of Wisconsin.
In his first year at Highland Park
High, Jim won the Detroit City Highl
School Singles championship. The
same summer, he also won the City
Junior title, all this happening when
he was but 15 years old. He success-
fully defended these titles for'? two
years and was soon recognized as one
of the outstanding netters in Detroit.
Many other championships have
fallen Tobin's way, but you would
never know it, if his quiet, unassum-
ing, likeable attitude is any sort of
criterion.
At the present time, the new Wol-
verine tennis captain is also presi-
dent of Phi Delta Theta fraternity,
member of Michigamua, Sphinx and
several other campus honor societies.

Thirteen Wolverine trackmen willf
make the trek from Ann Arbor to3
Kalamazoo to participate in the an--c
nual Michigan A.A.U. track meet to
be held there today.f
Heading the list of varsity menr
entered in this meet is Alan Smith,r
senior speedster who annexed the
Big Ten championship in the 220-
yard dash last weekend. Alan isj
also entered in the 100-yard dash
where he will meet a serious threatr
in the person of Gerritt Stuckkie, of
Western State. Both can do 9.7.
Warren Breidenbach will have a
busy day running the two sprint
events as well as running the anchor
leg on the relay team. Warren has
stepped the 220-yard distance in 22
seconds during 'practice this year1
but expects to improve this mark
today.
Leutritz To Double1
Jack Leutritz will double in the
440 and as the third man on the
mile relay team. Jack is conceded
an excellent chance of winning the
440-yard run since his teammate,
Breidenbach, is not entered in that
event.
In the mile run, Bill Ackerman
will find plenty of competition when
he meets Tom Quinn of Michigan
Normal and Roy Fehr of Michigan
State. Quinn and Fehr are co-holders
of the state title for the mile event
with a time of 4:14.3.)
The varsity mile relay team, com-
posed of Phil Balyeat, Bill Dobson,
Leutritz and Breidenbach, is one of
the best in the state and should have
no trouble in winning.
Dave Cushing in the pole vault
and Tom Lawton in the shot put
are the other two varsity men en-
tered in the meet. Both meet strong
-competition, but should finish among
the leaders.
Watson Unattached
Big Bill Watson, captain of the
track team a year ago, is entered
unattached. Bill will enter six events
to test his fitness for the National
Decathlon to be staged in Cleveland
on June 15 and 16.
Four members of the freshman
team are also participating unat-
tached. Johnny Wise, who can throw
the javelin 175 feet, will face his
first collegiate competition today.
Quint Brelsford is slated to run the
half mile, the event in which he now
holds the state high school record.
Frank McCarthy, Birmingham, Mich.
freshman, will enter as a high jump-
er and Neil McIntyre will run the
120-yard high hurdles.
Although these thirteen men are
Wolverine cinderpath performers,
they are not being sponsored by the
athletic department due to the fact
that the meet takes place during
examination week. All the atletes
must, therefore, pay their own ex-
penses.
